The Sports and Recreation Act legislates us to award SANAA National Colours (Association colours ) to archers who achieve specific standards. This is the highest award that an archer can receive for performance awarded by the South African national Archery Association (SANAA). Colours are awarded each year to archers who have qualified within the past years shooting calendar (from nationals to nationals) and need to meet a number of criteria. These include the awarding of provincial Colours in the past year, competing in the national championships and reached an average score as determined by Article 31.2 of the Constitution & Rules. Scores shot in FITA and SANAA sanctioned tournaments and competitions are monitored and recorded. It is up to the provincial secretary to inform The Treasurer that provincial Colours are awarded and to make a claim for National Colours which are normally presented at the SA National Archery Championships prize giving.
